That's an option. We added this check to avoid such situation :

A request always come from one single conection. It's not possible that
2 requests for the same session are arriving from 2 different
connections. What happens internally is that requests are processed by a
pool of thread, which makes it possibe for 2 requests to be processed in
parallel.

As a rule of thumb, nb of threads = nb of processors/core +1. That
should be enough.

What I would be interested in is to run the exact tests you are running.
But that will be no sooner than next week, as I'm on a little trip for
the next 2 days (and my brain might be a bit too fried in the 2 or 3
days after those two days to be useful at all...)
Have a happy new year in the mean time !
